7-9-36. Dissolution.
(1) A credit union may be dissolved upon a majority vote of the entire membership.
(2) A copy of a notice of a special meeting to consider the matter shall be mailed to the
members of the credit union at least ten days before the date of the meeting.
(3) Any member not present at the meeting may within the following 20 days vote for or
against dissolution by signing a statement approved by the commissioner. A vote cast in this
manner has the same force and effect as if cast at the meeting. A member not voting within the
20-day period is considered to be in favor of the dissolution.
(4) The officers of the credit union may appoint a liquidating agent, subject to the
approval of the commissioner, who has the right to exercise all the powers of the dissolved credit
union to wind up its affairs. If the liquidating agent is other than the Utah League of Credit
Unions or the National Credit Union Administration, the liquidator shall provide a bond or other
security, as required by the commissioner, for the faithful discharge of duties in connection with
the liquidation, including accounting for all money collected.
(5) Upon the vote required under this section, a certificate of dissolution, signed by the
chair of the board and the secretary, shall be filed with the commissioner and shall state the vote
cast in favor of dissolution, the proposed date upon which the credit union will cease to do
business, the names and addresses of the directors and officers of the credit union and the name
and address of the liquidating agent appointed by the officers of the credit union. The
commissioner shall approve the dissolution unless he finds that the procedures set forth in this
section have not been properly followed.
(6) Upon approval, the credit union shall cease to do business except for the purpose of
discharging its debts, collecting and distributing assets, and doing all acts required to adjust, wind
up, and dissolve its business and affairs. It may sue and be sued for the purpose of enforcing
debts or obligations until its affairs are fully adjusted.
(7) If the board or the liquidating agent determines that all assets from which a reasonable
return could be expected have been liquidated and distributed, it shall execute a certificate of
dissolution in a form approved by the commissioner and file it with the department and the
Division of Corporations and Commercial Code. After the certificate has been filed, the credit
union is dissolved.
